Question

1. explain why do the different tropical biomes have different organisms living in them, even though they all have high temperatures? 2. identify where are the tropics? 3. explain why is there little difference between the seasons in a tropical rain forest? 4. explain why is the soil in tropical rainforests thin and nutrient - poor? 5. predict consequences what could happen to a tropical savanna if people stopped all fires from spreading? explain your answer.

Explanation:

1. Different tropical biomes have different organisms due to variations in precipitation, soil type, and water availability despite similar high - temperatures.
2. The Tropics are located between 23.5°N and 23.5°S latitude.
3. There is little difference between seasons in a tropical rainforest because it is near the equator, receiving consistent sunlight and has a relatively stable climate.
4. The soil in tropical rainforests is thin and nutrient - poor because rapid decomposition and heavy rainfall leach nutrients away quickly, and plants quickly absorb available nutrients.
5. If people stopped all fires from spreading in a tropical savanna, grass would grow taller and denser, trees and shrubs may encroach more, reducing the open - grassland habitat and affecting species adapted to fire - maintained conditions.

Answer:

1. Variations in precipitation, soil, and water availability.
2. Between 23.5°N and 23.5°S latitude.
3. Near the equator with consistent sunlight and stable climate.
4. Rapid decomposition, heavy rainfall leaching, and quick plant nutrient absorption.
5. Taller and denser grass, tree and shrub encroachment, habitat change for fire - adapted species.
